__________________________________________

Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026

5:30 to 7 p.m.

All interested members of the public are invited to attend a public information meeting regarding the Golden Gate Parkway Corridor Congestion Study from 5:30 to 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 26 at the Golden Gate Community Center, 4701 Golden Gate Parkway, Naples, FL 34116. The meeting will present the Preferred Alternative, highlighting proposed transportation improvements along Golden Gate Parkway from east of Airport Road to west of Santa Barbara Boulevard. Attendees can view conceptual corridor layouts, visualizations of major improvements, a summary of public input from the first meeting, which was held on Nov. 20, 2025 and upcoming next steps. In addition, a short video will be provided to share the Preferred Alternative. The video will be on a loop and run continuously during the entire meeting time. There will not be a formal presentation.

The primary objectives of this study included a comprehensive analysis of existing traffic conditions, identification of current and future congestion points, and development of major improvements to enhance traffic flow, improve safety, and support future growth along this vital corridor.

The study goals focused on identifying feasible improvements such as optimizing signal timing, managing traffic flow, increasing roadway capacity to reduce congestion, improving travel time reliability, and enhancing safety for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. Several potential major improvements were screened and analyzed at the signalized intersections within the study area, resulting in identification of a corridor-wide Preferred Alternative. The major improvement proposed at the Livingston Road intersection consists of a grade-separated overpass. In addition, the I-75 ramp intersections were evaluated for capacity and safety, leading to proposed modifications to the southbound off-ramp traffic signal configuration.

Project displays will be posted on the county’s website after the meeting at Transportation Planning Studies | Collier County, FL. For anyone who is not able to attend the meeting, comments may be sent via email to Katherine.eastley@collier.gov.The public comment period will end March 12, 2026.
